Instead of printing to your printer gave you tried printing to pdf using Dwg to pdf.pc3?

Also why is your paper size so long with blank empty space?

It prints to PDF without any problem, but I want to print directly. The paper is long because I print different sizes of ribbons and the paper is set to the maximum length.

Then most likely your print driver does not support transparency.

Impossible. I have an HP designjet t520 plotter and I also tried printing on the same plotter with a friend and there is no problem.

I would double check everything to make sure what you're doing on your friend's computer is exactly setup the same as your computer. Whatever the difference is that's where the problem lies.

Maybe it's a compatibility problem between windows 10 and autocad lt 2015? Maybe someone uses AutoCAD LT 2015 with Windows 10?

Is that the major difference between your friend's computer and yours? 

Items to compare:

Windows OS version

AutoCAD Version including service pack updates

Printer driver version

This all assumes you're both plotting to the same plotter so that's not a variable

123.jpgProblem solved. In the printer options, I changed the print quality option from "normal" to "fast". I thought about it for half a year 😀
